What does <> mean?

Question

I have seen this before in SQL and VB, I am now reverse engineering an Excel speadsheet and have come across the following formula:

=IF(D23<>0,\"Insufficent         


        

Answer 1

Yes, it means "not equal", either less than or greater than. e.g

If x <> y Then

can be read as

if x is less than y or x is greater than y then

The logical outcome being "If x is anything except equal to y"
